Pence will be a mere footnote as Trump’s VP. He is perhaps the least significant VP in decades… HW, Quayle, Gore, Cheney, Biden, and Harris all had far more notable public profiles in office.
I wonder who has/had more influence in the administration. Pence or Harris. Biden claims he takes Harris's advice seriously, but no evidence of that. Pence tried to tamper the worst of Trump
Harris does seem to have more of a microphone though. Pence was a background character.
Harris as Vice President is more of a over glorifed cabinet post. She is in the same league as Blinken or Yellen. Biden is a good man and I'm sure he takes her advice seriously. She just isn't at the same level Biden was when he was VP.
It'll be interesting to see in the future if active VPs like Cheney and Biden were aberrations or a new norm.
